After the completion of an international student’s tenure of studies in Australia, for majority of them it remains their top priority to stay and work in Australia. Because of the countless opportunities, employability prospects, multi-cultural environment and scenic beauty, it is the top priority of international students to make a better future for themselves here in Australia.

The Graduate Work stream is one of the streams which is open to graduates who fulfil the criterion of having eligible degree qualification from a registered institution, including those from the Vocational and Training sector. These graduates gain a degree relating to the occupation which is listed in the Medium and Long term Strategic Skills List (MLTSSL).

However the Department of Home Affairs has further made stricter the eligibility requirements of this visa. The complexity of acquiring the 485 visa lies in the fact that there are six ‘schedule 1’ requirements:

The following six schedule 1 items 1229 requirements for making a valid Class VC application are self-explanatory:

    • 1229(1) (application form)

 

    • 1229(2) (visa application charge)

 

    • 1229(3)(c) (where and how application must be made)

 

    • 1229(4)(f) (location if applying as a family member of a Class VC visa holder)

 

    • 1229(3)(g) (location, all other applicants)

 

  • 1229(3)(h) (provision for combined application)
